Power Project Praise Won By Northwest PORTLAND U ' A San Fran cisco engineer Tuesday praised Pacific Northwest states for their joint study on possible power projects In the Columbia Basin. James N. Landis, vice presi dent of Bechtcl Corp., San Fran cisco, and designer of a number of large power plants,' lauded the formation of the Governors' Power - Policy- Committee- -and -its creation of an engineering com fnittee to study' government and private power interests in pro posed projects, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idftho and Utah formed the groups. Landis told the American Society of Mechanical Engineers that the engineering committee's work "should contribute im measurably to an understanding of the issues involved "and agree ment of the conflicting interests on what should be done to schedule and implement the work of building the needed new power plants." He said the study probably would lead to integrated use of hydro-electric and steam plants "to provide the great Pacific Northwest with firm power at les- cost, to contribute to the continued development and ex pansion of the area's economy." how to avoid trouble: If there's one thing that's almost impossible in the while field of taxation, It's trying to convince the Revenue Service that you got a real gift from your employer. A gift, to be non -taxable, must be money (or property) received by you with absolutely no strings at tached and completely unconnect ed with any services rendered by you. - The Revenue Service just does not believe that an employer can make a gift to an employe which Is not in tome way connected with services rendered. So if you got a gift, bonus, or any kind of an extra from your employer it is very probably taxable. Aay Strings Attached Remember that a gift in the form of property, as well as money, is taxable if there are any strings attached or if it is in any way connected with services rendered by you. For example, if you helped a friend build a summer cottage and he gave you a rowboat out of gratitude, you should report the market value of the rowboat and pay tax on that amount. About prizes. Income tax law make nearly all prizes taxable. As with gifts, prizes in the form of merchandise or property are tax able at their market value. All prizes and awards are tax ble unless they fill all of the fol lowing conditions: 1. You were selected tn receive the prize without any action on your part to enter a contest or a proceeding. No Fature Services 2. You received the prize without any requirement that you give "substantial future services" as a condition to getting the prize. 3. The prize or award is made principally in recognition of religi ous, charitable, scientific, educa tional, artistic, literary or civic achievements. The Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, for example, are tax exempt. They were taken by Congress as models of the only kind of prizes on which you need not pay a tax, They are given in recognition of outstanding work in your field. Make Effort Prizes given by employers for suggestions are definitely taxable, since you make an effort to get the prize and render a service, What if you leap into a stream and rescue someone about to drown, and the Carnegie Founda tion gives you one of its lifesaving awards? Very likely it is not tax able, because your object was to save a life, not to get a reward at the time you acted. The Rev enue Service (which has no record of a ruling on the subject) would probably accept the argument that life-saving is a charitable act. If you should get a reward for catching a criminal, however, you would probably have to pay a tax i on It, because such rewards are I publicized, and it would be pretty I hard to convince the Revenue Scrv j ice you were not after the award. If you could convince the tax col lector that you acted only out of pure civic spirit, wit., no expecta tion of any reward, the prize could be non-taxable. Treasure Taxable Jf you find some money or prop erty, is that taxable Income? There have been rulings on this, and the answer is: Yes, found money or j property is "treasure trove" under the tax law, and treasure trove is 'taxable income. Virtually every radio-TV or other ! type of giveaway is definitely tax ableto be reported a part of your ! income for the year. The big mon- ey giveaways can increase the tax ' of a man with average income and 1 whole prize must be .counted as ! income in the year in which it is jworu. t ' Let's take a man with an Income of $5,000. married, with two chil dren, who t;ikc the standard 10 per cent deduction for expewes and files a Joint return wun mi wife, who has no income: llis income lax womu fc: 19S3.

High School Issue Eyed icts Bv Distr About 60 school board members. representing all 16 county school districts lacking high schools, met Monday night in Marion County courthouse to discuss high school facilities for their students. On July 1, 195S, all non-high school districts will be abandoned as or dered by the 1953 state legislature. Mrs. Agnes Booth, county school superintendent and George (Burt) Bradley, chairman of the county non-high school board, explained that the law provides non-high districts with three alternatives (1) elect to join an existing unified school district such as Salem or a union high school district such as Stayton: or 2 build their own high school within their existing district; or (J) attempt to gain pe: mission to send their students to an existing high school, and pro vide for their tuition and trans portation in their 1958 budget. They were reminded that if the latter step were chosen there is no guarantee against the nearest high school refusing to accept the stu dents sometime in the future. As for building their own school Mrs. Booth commented that at least 300 students are needed to make the step economically prac tical, and that there are now only 230 non-high students throughout the county. Modorn Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q. Is it necessary to tend a gift when one receives an announce ment of a girl's engagement? A. Although this is sometimes done, it is not at all necessary. One can wait until receipt of the wedding invitation before sending a gift. Q. Is a hostess supposed to wait until all her guests have finished eating before beginning to remove the plates from the table? A. Usually, yes. However, if one of her guests is exceedingly slow, M would be all right for her to begin removing the plates of the others. Q. Is it correct for a married woman tp send a wedding gift in her name only, especially if the bride-elect if a very special friend ,of hers?'" j , t1l.:i A. No; she" should always include her husband' nam when sending wedding fifts. " .
